She was beautiful, for a human - long hair nearly the precise color of black ink, charcoaled eyes. Floor-length white gown, the kind women used to wear when this world was younger. Lace sleeves belled out around her slim arms. Around her neck was a thick silver chain, on which hung a dark red pendant the size of a baby's fist. He only had to narrow his eyes to know that it was real - real and precious. His mouth started to water as she neared him. Vital energy pulsed from her like blood from an open wound. She smiled, passing him, beckoning with her eyes. He turned to follow her, tasting the phantom sizzle of her death on his lips.
I just love Izzy. And did you guys recognize that red pendant? It's the same one that Camille wears in Clockwork Angel. It's so amazing how Cassie connects both series through the smallest details. I can't wait to see how she does that next. Oh and I also think it's cool how this quote is told through the perspective of a demon; we don't see that that often. Okay enough rambling. I'll now close with a picture by one of my favorite fanartists, kara-lija:
Well, until next time!
Love always,
The Red Queen
